Jodon Romero, 33, was wanted for parole violations and had a criminal record including a weapons conviction and numerous violent crimes, Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson said today. . Police pursued Romero after he allegedly carjacked a red 2008 Dodge Caliber at gunpoint in Phoenix Friday, following an accident with another car he had been driving. Cops were alerted to both incidents and realized the suspect in both cases shared a description. When cops began to pursue the suspect, he started shooting at police cars, Thompson said. Police then fell back and followed the car from a distance. The suspect, however, shot at the Fox News chopper that covered the chase along I-10 outside about 75 miles from the California border. Initial reports indicated that a victim may have remained in the stolen car, but Thompson said only the suspect was involved. Chopper video showed the vehicle zooming along Arizona’s wide open highway, flashing past cars and trucks, switching lanes as it weaved through traffic, at times speeding along the shoulder of the road. The camera from the chopper captured the moment the chase ended with the man stumbling out of a red SUV into a grassy area. He reached into his waistband and pulled a handgun. He then shot himself in the head. Police said the suspect died at the scene. No civilians or police were wounded in the pursuit.

Is this the story that has been reported a lot on our news? The television company is in big trouble over the broadcast; there was meant to have been a time delay so that anything unsuitable could be filtered out, but for some reason that didn't happen. The presenter saw what was about to happen and frantically tried to get the broadcast stopped, but was too late. He has been apologising ever since.

the only thing that i miss about living in southern california is the chases. there was usually at least one a week, and channel eleven would cover them from beginning to end. out of hundreds of chases, i only got to see three of the punks die. the best was the north hollywood bank robbery which i was lucky enough to tape. i made a half hour tape of the trash dying, in slo mo and frame by frame. it don't get any better than that
